The Last Minute Bikini Diet

This diet will flatten your stomach in just five days while increasing energy, improving sleep, reducing bloating and fluid retention.

The Rules of the Diet

Follow the diet exactly and do not vary the portions recommended. No foods are unlimited on this diet.

Eat every three hours.

All yogurt must contain ‘live’ cultures of acidophilus and bifidobacterium. Do not use flavored yogurts as these contain sugars or artificial sweeteners that may influence the effectiveness of the diet.

Eat slowly and chew everything very well.

Drink water between meals but try to avoid drinking with meals as this dilutes the digestive juices.

Avoid alcohol and carbonated drinks.

Eat fruit only in the evening.

Stop eating if you feel full.
